Description: During the twentieth century, Russia, Ukraine, and other ì territories of the former Soviet Union experienced more bloodshed ì and violent death than anywhere else on earth: fifty million ì dead, in an epic of destruction that encompassed war, revolution, ì famine, epidemic, and political purges. How did Russians cope ì with loss on such a scale and how does such a society mourn? ì In Night of Stone, Catherine Merridale asks Russians the ì most difficult questions about how their country's volatile past ì has affected their everyday lives, their aspirations, dreams, and ì nightmares. The result is a highly original and revealing history ì of modern Russia. 402 pages.
